2023 marks a significant milestone for Clearaudio as we are celebrating our 45th anniversary.
We’ve been helping to write hi-fi history for 45 years and today we’re proud to say that the name Clearaudio stands for high-end audio made in Germany.

Clearaudio began its journey in 1978 with the launch of the Delta and Sigma loudspeakers and since then the company has grown from strength to strength.
Over the years our company has steadily established itself in the national and international marketplace, not least with the acquisition of patents for our tangential tonearms in 1988, the registration of a patent for our new generation of moving coil (MC) cartridges in 1998 and of course patent registration of our renowned Ceramic Magnetic Bearing (CMB) in 2008.

Reflecting on this important company milestone, Clearaudio continues to grow and to move forward, while also looking back on many years of successful business history and of innovation in the high-end audio sector.

Clearaudio proudly celebrates its 45th anniversary! We would like to invite you to be part of our anniversary celebration in this video, where we celebrated together with our esteemed friends and business partners from all around the world. Immerse yourself in the captivating atmosphere of enthusiasm and gratitude that we feel towards our loyal business partners and friends who have accompanied us on our long and successful journey. You have made a significant contribution to our success, and this celebration is our special way of thanking you for your support.

1978 was the year Peter Suchy and his team developed Clearaudio's first moving coil cartridges. The patented fully symmetrical design and the choice of a boron cantilever were pioneering approaches which guide others to this day – while Clearaudio continues to refine them. 'Made in Germany' at Clearaudio stands for the highest quality, using high-end materials and the perfect technical implementation of intelligent innovation. Every product in Clearaudio's portfolio is conceived and produced by highly skilled specialists and precision engineers in the science city of Erlangen.

Since its inception, Clearaudio has amazed music lovers in more than 80 countries worldwide with analogue playback devices that set new standards of audio reproduction and constantly raise the bar a little higher. The range now also includes – in addition to high-end turntables, tonearms and cartridges – phonostages, preamplifiers, class A power amplifiers, connectors, cables and audio racks plus a wide range of accessories for maximum listening pleasure. The company has also embraced music production and now creates Clearaudio's own audiophile recordings and lovingly supervised re-releases of legendary classical discs once produced for the world famous Deutsche Grammophon.

Passionate and specialised staff, the highest quality materials, skilful workmanship, uncompromisingly accurate design and ingenious production technology – all taking place in Erlangen, centre of science and location of the world-famous Friedrich-Alexander University. Our city shapes and influences our aspirations and expertise.

In close proximity to the Fraunhofer and Max Planck Institutes, our engineers and mechanics research future technology – for ever greater acoustic quality.
